[UPDATE] Hey guys, returning player. Question: How do you play a flyer and not get shit on, from off screen by 3 weapons types that are in every game (flak, rocket, rail)?

Thanks for all of the help in the previous thread. I decided to take into account all that you've said.

I'd like some feedback and help on how to improve my current design, because this flyer just seems like less than a support in its current state. You don't die in this as often, but the encouraged playstyle is to peek from base shield, dump your energy then return to shields before you're shot down.

This is my current design. It utilizes a central module that I connect 1/2 of my thrusters and the front wings to. The outer module is connected to the inner by aero rods and is attached to the other half of the thrusters. The back wings and rudders are connected to this end, as well.

I have 6 Plasma cannons on the flyer and as many radar jammers as I can fit so I don't just get shot down by rail.

.

Pros:

  • Tanky as shit

  • Very nimble turning/control.

  • Can flank like a god

Cons:

  • Slower than other flyers and about as fast as a helicopter.

  • Doesn't have the security in dog fights of SMGs/other weapon types.

  • No Radar.

.

What I'm asking for in a flyer

I want to be able to out maneuver people to get off more damage instead of just be able to take a hit or two and have low, but mobile damage. I'm ok being thinner than paper if there is a payoff. Is that possible?

If you have suggestions to improve the design, please post them here. I don't really have the CPU for adding anything.
